My….father wanted me to become famous
So he gave me a famous machine
I kinda only thought that he was kidding
But he would always call to check up on me
I couldn’t fit my whole body into it
So I decided to start with just my feet
By Monday morning all my friends were calling
To say they’d seen me dancing on TV

Well I wasn’t really much of a dancer
But I thought, hey, I could wiggle my hips
I thought that I’d put them inside - But they never got a chance to try
A Hollywood Producer said they’re way too wide

So I thought about puttin’ in my elbows
Cuz they were as skinny as could be
And my eyes, mouth, teeth, and throat and nose didn’t seem like very good possibilities

But I was getting’ so annoyed at the famous machine
It was takin’ up all the free room I’ve go
So I busted it to pieces and threw it in the yard – now it’s makin’ a good flower pot

Track Name: Tagalong

You wanted the car keys
But only to drive me far away
It’s better than leaving me on a train

You wanted fruit roll ups
But only to roll them in my hair
And still I’d follow you everywhere

So you’d say
Go….………..Go away

Later I knew the secrets – to all of the girls you dreamed about
But I held them ransom in my mouth
So you’d play your music
And we’d laugh and we’d smile and we’d talk
Pretty soon you’d say before I’d walk away – you’d say

Don’t go…….
Don’t go………..away

You dropped out of college and I hardly recognized your face
And you wouldn’t show yourself for days and days and days
And had I been stronger maybe I would’ve torn right through your door
Instead of just waiting there on the floor – too afraid to

Go………….
Go away

The years go by slowly
With all of the things life puts you through
And I can’t count the ways that I miss you

And the days when you call me
I find I can hardly believe my ears
Cuz I always feel that familiar fear – that you will

Go…………..go away
Don’t go……Don’t go away

One day we’ll be older and one of us is gonna be left alone
And maybe that’s all we’ve ever known

Who I gotta be to change your mind?
Who I gotta be to change your mind?
Who I gotta be – who I gotta be – Who I gotta be to catch your eye?

Put me on the stage – I’ll read the lines
Run it through again time after time
Just - who I gotta be – who I gotta be - who I gotta be to change your mind?

Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be to change your mind

Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be, who I gotta be
Who I gotta be to catch your eye
